Pancreatic cancer screening for high-risk groups
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study screens people at high risk for pancreatic cancer using imaging tests. It aims to catch cancer early in those with certain genetic conditions or strong family history.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to take part in the study.
- You have one of these: a chronic pancreatic condition (like cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis) and are 50+; a genetic syndrome (like Peutz-Jeghers, familial melanoma, or hereditary pancreatitis) at certain ages; Lynch syndrome, HBOC, or other hereditary cancer syndrome with a family history of pancreatic cancer; or a strong family history of pancreatic cancer without a known syndrome.
- You are able to have surgery if a tumor is found.
- You can safely undergo imaging scans (like MRI or CT).
- You do not have another incurable cancer.

This trial tests a software that analyzes fats (lipids) in your blood to find pancreatic cancer early. You may join if you have pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery, or if you are at very high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations.
This trial uses MRI and endoscopic ultrasound to look for early signs of pancreatic cancer in people who have a high risk due to their genes or family history. Finding it early may lead to better treatment options.
This study builds a database of people at higher risk for pancreatic cancer (or certain early warning findings) to help find better ways to detect the disease early. You may be asked to complete health questionnaires and possibly donate a blood/saliva/swab sample.
This study screens people with recent diabetes who are at high risk for pancreatic cancer. It uses a CT scan to find cancer early, when it may be easier to treat.
This study checks people who are at higher risk for pancreatic cancer using an ultrasound camera passed into the digestive tract (endoscopic ultrasound, EUS), then tracks their results over time. It may help catch early signs and better understand how screening works for high-risk groups.
This study looks for people at high risk for pancreatic cancer, either because of family history, certain genetic mutations, or concerning pancreatic cysts. Researchers want to follow you over time to find cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
